TOURNAMENT In the Y.M.C.i. tournament, Central was represented in classes B and C by teams made up from members of the squad. Neither team represented a first or second team but was formed with age as the chief factor. Class B Members of the team: Charles Reece, David Hughes, William Creasap, Oliver Hagan, John Boicher and William Koller. The boys comprising this team plqfed a game that will go down on the annals of local basketball as one of the most sensational surprises ever staged by a Central team. Central drew the first game the grchon Torch Club which is composed of members of the 1928-1929 Central team. Earlier in the season this team had beaten Central with the lopsided score of 40 to 8. A duplication of this score was predicted by followers of each team, for not only had the Central squad been weakened by dividing the teams by age but also most the Llumni's team had seen considerable service on the Harding High squad. Two of the players, Clay and Morgan, were letter men. In the first quarter Central led by two points, the score being 5 to 5. Of course this was a surprise. However, when the half ended with a score of l2 to 9 with Central still in the lead it was easily seen that Central had maintained her lead by consistently playing good basketball. The third quarter began with the nlumi grimly determin ed to overcome our lead. The score at the end of the third quarter gave them a one point lead, With three minutes to play, Central trailed by a score of I5 to 2l. In rapid succession three field-goals for Central brought the two teams to a 2l to 2l dead-lock with only one half minute to play. In the last ten seconds, Don Lindsey put the ball through the hoop for a two point lead. It was generally conceded that if Central could have made the necessary three points to win from the Alumni, we could have won the Class B. Championship, for in the next game with Waldo the Llumi doubled the score to win the tournament. Class C Theiremaining members of the squad played in Class C. These werea Hero Jones Stark Whitcum, Mason mid uaintance. D 3 i J In the first round a bye was drawn. In the second we met the Waldo Wildcats and defeated them by a score of 25 to l5. In the finals Central was pitched against Vernon Hts. Considering that only two members of the first team played in Class C, and that Vernon was represented by their entire Junior High squad, the final scorc'of 25 to 51 was very commendable. Lt the end of the first quarter Central led 6,to 4, but the half ended with Vernon in the lead by a l5 to 8 score. Stark led the scoring for Central with twelve points,
